2024 BMW X5M Competition review // How is it as a daily driver?

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 BMW X5M Competition luxury, performance SUV. Wow, 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque in this 2024 BMW X5 M Competition!
This X5 M and the X6 M are the first BMW high performance models to debut with 48 volt technology. The X5 M has a 4.4L twin turbo V8 with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, an 8-speed automatic transmission and a variable AWD system that allows the driver to choose between maximum traction at all four wheels or an AWD sport mode for customizable performance on road.
The 2024 BMW X5 M Competition power is amazing, it drives more like a sports sedan than an SUV with balanced handling, incredible acceleration, fantastic cornering and precise steering with a heavier feel. Standard features include, an M Sport exhaust system, an adaptive suspension, active M differential, M compound brakes and three drive modes, road, sport and track.
This new 2024 BMW X5 M Competition has sharper exterior styling with a new front end, a black kidney grille, new Maxtrix LED headlamps, new wheel designs and exterior colours. The X5 M has a staggered 21”/22” wheel setup and summer tires.
The 2024 BMW X5 M Competition interior is beautiful with a curved display, a full merino leather interior, M badging, a 14.9” touchscreen with BMW’s latest operating system 8, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 12.3” digital driver display and Harman Kardon sound system. We have the available Bowers & Wilkins in our test model which sounds great. There is a significant reduction in buttons and controls which some may or may not like.
This 2024 BMW X5 M Competition is pricey but oh so fun, it’s starts at $142,000 CAD/$124,800 USD (MSRP).
Do we really care about fuel economy with this one? 18.2L/100 km, 13 MPG city and 12.9L/100 km, 18 MPG highway.

Gotta love Andrea’s smile when she “punches “ it

[rotaxrider]

I tune in for the reviews my wife tunes in for Andrea’s fashions

[judih.]

I like how when Zach put it in M2 and floored it he glanced in the rear view mirror a few times! Always got to check your 6.

[AdamOnder]

I like the new way you guys show the questions on the screen! Much improved!

[foreverrving]

I'm pretty sure Andreas saying when the kids were growing up was: HOLD ON CHILDREN, MOMMY'S GONNA PASS!! 🤣

I have the X40i in the same Color and options. I struggle to find a place to open it up and am easily going 140kph in seconds. I struggle to understand how you can enjoy this much power without going on a track. Oh, and mine tows 7200 pounds.

[nalaYYL]

i had a 2017 x5m . and all i remember from that car are trips to gas stations 😂😂😂😂

[jeffsena]

Love the X5 M but I’ll keep my X5 40i . Plenty of performance, great luxury and comfort, good utility and decent MPG (28 hwy/25 combined) for $50k less in the US!

[JayRay]

Another great review - thanks Andrea and Zach! Good inputs on the controls "hot keys", much agree!

[Isaac-yidr]

I like the toggle honestly, makes shifting quick, and fun…

[Andygp]

$158, 000 Canadian? BMW lost their damn minds.

[clancep]

BMW is killing it in the wheels department. Their wheel designs are so much appealing and stylish vs what Mercedes is offering. Also, kudos to BMW for having black gloss exterior elements vs the hard unfinished plastics seen on the AMG GLE’s.

[abhardwaj]

I always wonder where do you use all this power except the track which people dont use as so often?
Left lanes on highway are always backed up, or cops hanging out when traffic gets thinner. You obviously can’t keep launching in residential area. One place comes to mind is regional back roads but they are so wonky. I’d be scared to topple this super boxy suv

[luccac]

Those GIAGANTIC IPAD screens need to go.

BMW for Break My Will. I will not buy a BMW. I will not buy a BMW. ... I will buy a BMW. I am buying a BMW. Where do I sign my life away.

[citibear]

Ha! If I brought my wallet to the local BMW dealer, they'd show me a few selections that I could afford ... from a vending machine! 😂

In the case of my 21 M340i xDrive and 23 X3 M40i xDrive we absolutely benefit from the 48v mild hybrid even though BMW does not change the posted fuel economy numbers. You can easily average 35mpg and 30mpg respectively commuting to and from work. Even higher if you are focused on gas mileage. Since new I’m averaging 31.2mpg overall on 46, 000 miles on my M340 and 26.2mpg overall on 17, 000 miles on the X3 M40, both far exceeding EPA numbers.

[tmarkpeterson]

The problem for the BMW X5M Competition...is the lower-level X5s! The 40i and 60M are so good that BMW has made the X5M Competition obsolete. Not sure that I would fork out the HUGE bucks for the X5M. BTW I am a big guys...but if I am being honest Andrea is the superstar of this team. Without her, I go back to my other YouTube Car reviews.

How about a Jaguar F Pace SVR for more fun and a fair bit less money. And I know some think reliability is an issue. F type owner here from 2018. Zero problems.
Awesome V8 supercharged engine.

[abpakdeep]

How do you like the suspension, even in comfort mode I guess you feel every imperfection. Can you hear a lot of road noise or is there acoustic glass?
I don’t like the 2025 BMW X3 model.
